Blackberry Peach Smoothie

Again, smoothies are delicious. Because they have yogurt in them they have a good amount of protein, and because they have fruit in them they have a solid amount of fiber as well.

Recipe:
1/3 cup frozen blackberries
1/3 cup frozen peaches
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 T water
3-4 ice cubes
honey (optional)
flax seeds (optional)

Throw yogurt and peaches into blender and puree until smooth. Add blackberries and turn blender on again until smooth. The mixture will be thick at this point, add water so that things continue to smooth out. Add ice one cube at a time until there are no ice chunks left. The ice crush button is helpful, otherwise just let the blender go on a relatively high setting for a few minutes.

*this one is a little less sweet than the banana one and is a little more tart. I still don't add honey regularly though because I really like the tartness of it.
